Apple MacBook Air Review – Product Overview
———————————————————————————————————–
Many people often ask me for the name of the computer brand I use when live-streaming Geometry dash. Well I’ll tell you this; it took me a while before deciding on which computer to buy because I had to do a bit of research to see which laptop would be good value for money.
It is no secret and I would love to share what I use right here with you.
The computer I use for live-streaming is the Macbook Air 2017 model. You may have tried googling best laptops for 2018 or top gaming laptop before arriving here, but I’ll tell you that I am very happy with this computer. Hey! Its an Apple product after all. I not only use this for gaming but I also make use of it for my day to day tasks.
Why I love this MacBook Air Laptop
If you ask me right now why I like my MacBook, three things come to my mind:
Affordability, stability and ease of use are three major things I like about my MacBook Air and its no surprise that many people will opt for a Mac laptop over any other type of laptop. The ease of integrating a MacBook with an ipad or iphone makes this computer one of the best out there. it is also great for students
Now I have to mention that MacBook laptops are not cheap but this model which is the MacBook Air is the least expensive.
———————————————————————————————————–
Pros:
Affordability: Compared to other Mac laptops in terms of price, the MacBook Air is an affordable gaming laptop and not just for gaming but for everyday tasks. You still enjoy the full Mac experience. Nothing is compromised here and it is light in terms of weight. It runs Microsoft office including excel and word smoothly with no hassles!
Fast: It is fast and great for daily tasks. I not only use this for my youtube channel but I also make use of this computer for so many other tasks.
Body: The Macbook’s aluminum body gives it a sophisticated look although this look dates back to models manufactured between 2005 and 2010. It is glaring now that other brands also have similar bodies as well.
Keyboard: The keyboard is sleek and you can type with ease. Typing is pleasant on this laptop. You can actually type so many words in a minute without your fingers hurting!
Battery: The battery works well. I don’t have to charge it all the time. I charge it once a day or every other day and I’m good.
Battery life is fantastic! It is powerful and does every single thing I need it to do. In other words it is reliable.
It has meaningful ports including SD Slot card, USB, mini display port. This means you do not need any external adapters.
Power connector: The power connector is epic because it is magnetic! How cool! 
Durable body: The aluminum body protects the screen.
Screen stays in position, no drooping
Pictures: If you’re the type that enjoys transferring pictures to your computer with the aid of SD cards, this laptop will do it for you because of its SD card slot.
Sharing feature is awesome and it is easy to transfer files from an old Macbook to a new one.
Cleaning it is a breeze!
Ease of cleaning is a big one for me as well and that’s what I love about my Macbook Air. It is so easy to clean with a slightly wet or damp cloth due to its aluminum body design.
It really is as simple as that!
———————————————————————————————————–
Cons:
Same design this model has had for so many years.
Display: The screen is not as sharp as other mac laptops as I have noticed especially when watching videos. I have to say though that this is something you may not really notice.
The Macbook Air comes in different configurations.
It is easy to leave marks and scratches on the aluminum body design so you might want to purchase a sleeve most especially if you’ll be carrying it around to preserve that sleek look.
More expensive than other brands: A drawback with this Apple brand is that it is more expensive than the Microsoft computers but you get what you pay for in this case because it is a Mac computer.
That said, for anyone looking to get into MacOs, the MacBook Air will be a great choice most especially if you don’t want to break the bank!

Hi. thanks for the review. I like the sleek design and compatibility of this product with the other apple products. I have not owned an Apple computer before, but have friends that use them and they keep telling me how good they are. I will seriously look at buying an apple next time I need to upgrade my computer.
Many thanks.

Thanks for visiting and please visit again soon for more reviews.
You probably won’t be surprised when I tell you;
I’ve been hearing about the MacBook Air quite a lot recently.
Wasn’t sure what all the fuzz was all about…
But I’m sure now, thanks to this post.
When I look at all the features you so carefully presented in here…
I start to see from where all the fascination is coming from!
Awesome article, thanks for sharing it!
You’re so welcome Boby. I’m so glad I was able to present and explain clearly all the Macbook Air features. Thanks for leaving a comment and hope you’ll drop by again soon.
I currently use MS Pro but am thinking of switching to a mac for the better designing options.
The biggest reason I chose MS Pro is because of its lightness, easy to take to any location, while having the capability of a desktop. If the Mac Air is comparable, if not superior, I’d be keen to get my hands on one. How light is it?
Hi Cath, I can tell you that this Macbook AIr is super light and it weighs 2.96 pounds. Thanks for leaving a comment.
This looks like a splendid laptop. Compared to my heavy, clunky pc, the Apple Macbook Air is fast, sleek, and durable. The price for this laptop is reasonable at $949.99 given the fact that I’m a student.
I do have a question though. I have heard that you cannot really game with Apple computers. Is that the case for this Macbook Air? I want to know in case I consider this puppy down the road.
Thank you for sharing and I hope you make it a great day!
It is really a cool laptop Alex. I can also tell you that the Macbook Air is superlight! Now the good news is that Amazon usually has good deals from time to time (or even stores like Bestbuy) and I can tell you that the price for this laptop is $949.99 on Amazon and especially with black friday drawing super close who knows you might be able to get it for even less!
Well, I can tell you that I use the Macbook Air for gaming. I play Geometry dash on the Macbook Air and I have also used it for fortnite!
You’re welcome and please feel free to visit again soon for more reviews and awesome posts!
